6 Months, Is The Doc. Wrong? by evil666(m): 12:27am On Apr 03, 2010
My friend had an operation, appendicitis and the doc. advised him not to have Xex in the next six (6) months.
This is a young guy (mid 20) that cannot stay a day without.
His life has become misery and he needs urgent help.
Pls whats your suggestion, I think the doctor is wrong.
How can blowing affect appendicitis?

8weeks at best depending on how easy/fast the person heals but the important part is that if he trusted that doctor to operate on him then he should trust his judgment on how soon he can have s e x again (doc might have some plausible serious reasons why)

Frankly speaking, if you were in his shoes can you ask the doc. such question, especially when you are not marriaged.
Its shameful girl!

hmmm interesting. Your friend would need to use his abdominal muscles during sex . . . you would be risking a hernia to put a strain on muscles that have yet to properly heal.

Mmmmh. The doctor must have been shocked by the guy's sexual history hence the advice. I will do the same if i had had d guy as my patient.

That was my first thought but 6 MONTHS! Well, my specialty is not surgery so don.t know what's obtainable these days.

The doctor told him to abstain from sex for 6 months.Let him listen for his own good

That is discipline.
He can not do without it , doctor said he must do without it for 6 months

He has the decision to make whether to follow the doctor or do otherwise and face what the uncertain consequences.

6 months seems long to me. 8-12 weeks is the norm unless thier were complications - could always ask why the extension. se/x put alot of stain on the body physicaly and org/asms in particular strain teh abdominal muscles which were just cut. they must heal first. if you tear them or any of the internal structires which were just stiched you can end up requireing surgery again and can even cause a serious infection that if left untreated can lead to necrosis.
